The call you'll always be glad you made
Your loved one's stories, in their own voice.
Your grandmother has stories she's never told. Your father remembers things no one has ever asked about. Lifestoria calls them in their own language, listens deeply, and turns what they share into something your family will carry for generations.
Hundreds of families already preserving their stories

The Lifestoria Method
Every life holds stories worth preserving.
In minutes, you set up the interview through our simple platform — choose who to call, what to explore, and when. We call them on their regular phone. After the conversation, everything lives in your Lifestoria: the audio, the transcript, the biography. A private space where your whole family can return, listen, and discover the person they thought they already knew.
Most families don't lose their stories all at once. They lose them slowly — in the moments no one thought to ask, in the years that quietly pass. Lifestoria is built on a single belief: the stories that matter most are the ones your loved ones are still carrying. We just need to ask.
A window that closes
The people who shaped you have lived through things they've never been asked about.
Wars, migrations, first loves, great losses — a whole life carried quietly. Lifestoria opens the conversation before it's too late.

The interviewee
"I didn't think my life was that interesting.
Then my granddaughter cried when she heard it."
Margaret Shelly, 83 · Gifted Lifestoria by her granddaughter
The family
"She described the day she fell in love with my grandfather.
I'd never heard that version of her before. I've listened six times now."
Denise Shelly, 32 · Gifted Lifestoria to her grandmother
No commitment. No app. Just a conversation worth having.
No app. No setup. Just a phone call.
All they have to do is answer the phone.
You set everything up through our platform in minutes. At the scheduled time, we call your loved one directly on their regular phone. They answer. We take it from there — warm, unhurried, and completely on their terms.
And this isn't just a single call. Following a gentle weekly cadence, each new session opens a new chapter — new memories, new threads, new depths. The more they share, the richer and more complete the story becomes. One call is meaningful. A few weeks of them become an heirloom.
Their voice. Their story.
01 / Privacy & Security
Encrypted and yours alone
Every call is end-to-end encrypted and stored privately. Your family's stories are never shared, never used for training, and never accessible to anyone but you.
02 / The Conversation
Warm by design, not by accident
Our interviewer is built to feel like a patient, curious friend — not a machine. People forget they're talking to technology. That's exactly the point.

"Tell me about the place you grew up in.
What do you remember most?"
Privacy & Security
Your family's stories belong to your family. Full stop.
We know what you're sharing with us. These aren't just files — they're the inner lives of people you love. We treat them accordingly. Your stories are never sold, never shared, never used to train AI models — by anyone, ever.
Encrypted end-to-end
Every call is transmitted over TLS 1.3. Every recording, transcript, and story chapter is stored with AES-256 encryption at rest — the same standard used by banks and healthcare providers worldwide.
Zero training on your data
We will never use your family's conversations, recordings, or stories to train AI models — ours or anyone else's. Your stories are not a data asset. They are a private family record and we treat them as such.
Access for your family only
Only you and the family members you explicitly invite can access the stories. Lifestoria staff have no routine access to your loved one's recordings or transcripts. Access is governed by strict controls and logged.
No advertising. Ever.
Lifestoria has no advertising business model. We don't share data with ad networks, we don't build targeting profiles, and we don't let third parties access your content. Our only business is helping you preserve stories.
You control your data
Download your recordings, transcripts, and Life Book at any time. Request full deletion and we'll remove everything from our systems — no questions, no delays. Your family's stories are yours to keep or remove.
Built for global compliance
Lifestoria is built to comply with GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), and LGPD (Brazil) — including lawful basis for processing, data minimisation, and full subject rights: access, correction, portability, and deletion.
"The stories your family shares with Lifestoria are among the most personal things that exist. We built this product because we understand that weight. We will never treat your family's memories as anything other than what they are — private, irreplaceable, and entirely yours."
— Constantine "Gus" Spathis, Founder & CEO
No language barrier
Their language.
Your language.
For families shaped by immigration, the stories most worth preserving are often the ones told in the language of home — the one that carries the full weight of the experience. Lifestoria's interviewer speaks 97 languages natively. Your loved one talks however they're most comfortable. You receive the full story, translated into whichever language you choose.
- Audio preserved in their original language, forever
- Transcript and biography translated to any language you choose
- Your stories are yours — secured, private, and never shared
A life, fully told
One interview is a chapter.
Many become a life.
Each Lifestoria session unlocks a new chapter — moments they've never been asked about, stories they assumed no one cared to hear. Over time, these sessions weave together into a complete arc: the full, surprising, beautiful life of someone you love.

In their own words
What it feels like — for everyone.
I talked about the day I arrived in a new country with nothing but a suitcase. Knowing my grandchildren will one day hear this story, in my own voice, makes me feel present in their lives no matter how old I am.
Norman Hayes, 85
Invited by his daughter
I discovered stories about her life I had never heard before — moments, choices, and dreams that completely changed the way I see her. Now I don't just know her as my grandma, but as a whole person.
Lucas Coleman, 24
Grandson
For the first time, I talked about the sacrifices no one ever asked about. It felt like someone finally listened — and now my family will carry those stories with them forever.
Antonio Riviera, 87
Invited by his daughter
Questions & answers
Everything you need
to know before
you begin.
Lifestoria is designed to feel effortless from the very first call. Whether you're preserving a parent's voice, a grandparent's stories, or a life that deserves to be fully told — here are the things families ask us most.
Not at all. Lifestoria calls them — they just need to pick up the phone. No app to download, no account to create, no instructions to follow. Our AI guide does the rest, keeping the conversation warm, patient, and easy to follow at any pace.
Lifestoria supports over 90 languages. When you set up the interview, you choose the language your loved one is most comfortable in — whether that's English, Portuguese, Spanish, Mandarin, or something else entirely. Their stories should be told in their own words, in the language that feels like home.
Within hours, Lifestoria turns the recording into a beautifully written story — complete with a transcript, a shareable audio chapter, and illustrated visuals matched to the topics of conversation. Every story lives in a private family space where relatives can read, react, and leave comments. Over multiple sessions, the chapters grow into a complete life arc.
Each session covers a different chapter of life — childhood, love, work, pivotal moments, the wisdom they'd pass on. One session is already something meaningful. Most families find a gentle rhythm of one or two interviews a month, building a richer portrait with each conversation. There's no fixed number — you go as deep as feels right.
Yes — completely. No credit card, no catch. We want you to experience what a Lifestoria session feels like before you decide anything. After the first interview, you'll receive the full story, the audio recording, and the transcript at no cost. You can take it from there at your own pace.
Still have questions? We have answers.
While there's still time
The stories you'll want most are still there to be heard.
Every week, families tell us they wish they'd started sooner. The people you love are still here — full of memories, moments, and stories they've never been asked to share. The first interview is free. This is the call you'll always be glad you made.
